Bundle Dye Kit

 

 Bundle Dye Kit

 
 

Bundle dyeing is a contemporary natural dye technique, which allows for the direct trasfer of colours and prints from flowers and plant materials, using a simple fold, bind and steam technique and little equipment.
A beautiful multi-sensory experience of colour, frangrance and soft sensual textures which creates the most mesmerising repeat patterns over silk and other fabrics.

This gorgeous packages contain a lovingly selected variety of locally grown dye plants, which give back nourishment to the soil through traditional natural soil-building techniques.

- British natural permaculture-grown flowers and roots (eg. Marigolds, Dyer's Chamomile & Madder root).
- Fun brightly coloured organic natural dye extract powders.
- A 50 x 140cm length of organic British-grown peace silk (kind to the moths!)
- A length of natural jute string for fastening your bundle.
- Mineral salts to give the best colourfastness to your dyed silk.
- Instructional pdf emailed to your inbox
- Mini corked glass vial of organic ph-neutral natural castille soap

These packs are individually hand wrapped in recycled cardboard boxes, compostable paper packaging and natural plant gum tape and mailed in a compostable mailer bag.
